Ludhiana, January 22
The ETT Teachers Union has accused the Punjab government of trying to sabotage the proposed “Nibhera Karo Rally” at Bathinda. Harbans Singh, district president of the union, said the government wanted to suppress their voice as they planned to expose the anti-education policies of Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and Deputy CM Sukhbir Singh Badal at the rally.
Harbans Singh said in order to deter them, the Zila Parishad chairman at Bathinda, Gurpreet Singh Maluka, had inspected union leader Jagseeer Singh Sahota’s school.
“We will not budge without getting our rights. The CM had promised us that teachers along with the administration of schools would be shifted from under Zilla Parishads’ control to the Education Department’s. Despite several meetings with him and the Deputy CM, the government failed to fulfil this promise. Now, we will hold a chain protest at Bathinda,” said Harbans Singh.
Another union member Jagseer Singh Sahota said, “The Akali government will not be successful in silencing us. Over 13,000 teachers serving in Zila Parishad schools under pathetic conditions are united against the government. We will announce the dates for holding the rally at Bathinda soon.”
Deputy CM’s wife Harsimrat Kaur Badal is to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections from the Bathinda constituency.
